About this Cook

I'm trying to learn meal planning. There are only two of us and we waste too much food with it expiring before it's used. I think a little planning could go a long way but I'm a 'fly by the seat of my pants' kinda gal and am not fond of routines. Anyone successfully found a way to plan for those who HATE planning? :)

My favorite things to cook

I love cakes because I enjoy decorating them and eating them!!!

My cooking tragedies

When I was about 10 years old, I attempted a chocolate souffle. I put signs all over the house to shut doors "gently" and walk "softly." The souffle came out fine but I hated it! All that work and all of that drama... As an adult, I trust reviews of other cooks! :)

I vary this recipe by adding 1-4 t of Cayenne Pepper and 1T of Onion Powder. I also have found that you need to add olive oil while baking to prevent a bunch of powder in the bottom of the pan. Everyone loves these. I've also found that, if they are going to be eaten within a few days, you can add butter while cooking and it makes them richer and smoother. Thanks for a great recipe!
